Savvy Burgundy lovers know that a top Grand Cru Chablis – especially a great Le Clos like this – can rival the grand crus of the Cote de Beaune at literally a tenth the price. Plus many (like us) even prefer the greater freshness and precision of the Chablis.

What other white Burgundy – let alone Chardonnay – can boast such qualities?
